About

The Market opened on Sept. 28 2022 and continues to grow. It provides Pittsburghers with free shelf-stable, produce, meat, dairy and non-food items at the Food Bank’s headquarters at 1 N. Linden St. in Duquesne.

The ability for people in need to drop in at any time the Market is open allows for greater flexibility for those who may not be able to make it to distribution events, which happen weekly.
